TONS LOSS AND THE PEOPLES sOR-

The following order has been issued
by the Department of State.
BY direction of the President the,
undersigned is charged with the duty
of announcing the death on the ODD
instant at 4 o'clock p. NJ, at his resi-
dence in Chicago, Illinois, of Elihu b.
Washburne, an illustrious citizen for

United States in many and important
capacities, as representative from the
State of Illinois in the National Lcgis-
lature, and subsequently, as envoy
extraordinary and minister plenipo-
Tertiary Of the United States to France

usefulness, in which abilities of IL high

unstained, his public services unques-
tionably great, and his memory will
be cherished with affection and re-
spect by his grateful countrymen. On

and will be draped i'll mourning for
ten days thereafter. The diplomatic
and consular Offices of the United

A LAYMAN's Educational Conven-
ton is called at Seattle next Tues
day and Wednesday evenings, for the
discussion of educational interests
generally, and especially to take some
action regarding the University loca-
ton. The call suggests that as the
Ministerial Conference had annulled
their contract to locate the University
at Port Townsend without apparent
good reason, thereby causing much
scandal to our beloved church." and
had ignored the laymen upon whose
shoulders fall the chief financial bur-
den OF such schools, the laymen pro-
pose to decide as to tho location of
the University. 1t seems quite proba-
BILE, from this statement, that the Con-
vention will be one of decided interest.
Prof. Follansbee, of this city, is an
nounccd as one of the speakers on
=" High Education," a topic in which
some phrases of it ut least-the Con-
ference may find instruction.
A YOUNG man from Portland hired a
boat and fishing apparatus yesterday
afternoon and went out on the bay, pre-
sumably to show the natives how to
catch salmon. Shortly afterward he was
seen sitting still in his boat with the
trolling line dangling over The side and
waiting for the fish to come and be
caught.-Olympia Corr. MteHigencer
The correspondent who furnished
the above paragraph to our Seattle
contemporary has up to within the
past few weeks resided in New York, a
city situated on Manhattan Island
somewhere on the Atlantic seaboard
He is not, of course, accustomed to
Western methods, and probably does
not know that the young man was
fishing for clans. This is quite as
popular a pastime as fishing for deep
sea bass on the Eastern shores, and
doubtless led to the scribe's mistake.

A Wonderful Discovery.

w. M. Lee, the well-known fruit
grower of Tacoma, gives the particu-
lars of a wonderful discovery of bones
of extinct animals in Washington
territory which attract the attention of
'tudents of natural history and
archaeology all over the world. In a
letter to the Ledger from Spokane
Falls he says:
''The face of the whole territory
shows unmistakable evidence of great
volcanic upheavals. On my trip through
Spokane county I stopped at Latah,
and in conversation with Mr.. Coplen
of that place regarding the volcanic
formation of that section he informed
me that he had examined some large
bones of great antiquity. Accompanied
by Mr.. Coplen I went to the spring
where the relics were dug out. 1t is
located on a low strip of springy
prairie. The excavation around the
spring is twelve OF fifteen feet deep
and thirty or forty across. The bones
were covered by several distinct
layers.
''The first layer was ancient peat;
then gravel, then volcanic ashes,
then layer of coarse peat.
From this spring were taken no less
than nine elephants, of different sizes,
the remains of cave bear, hyenas,
extinct birds, and a sea-turtle. The
dimensions of some of the bones of the
larger mammoth were wonderful to
look at. The horns were sort of tusk
and protruded from the head just be-
low the eyes, extending downward
below the jaws partially resting on the
ground, giving support to the head,
which is estimated to have weighed a
ton.
s'The horns were worn away several
inches deep at the bottom of the turn,
or half circle, indicating constant use
by rubbing on the ground or rocks.
One of these horns was ten feet and
one inch long, and twenty-four
inches in circumference. 1t weighed
145 pounds. One of the tusks
measured twelve feet and nine inches
in length and twenty-seyen inches
around. 1t weighed 295 pounds. The
jaw weighed sixty-three pounds. The
molar teeth weighed eighteen pounds
each. Some of the ribs were eight
feet long. The pelvic arch was six
feet across, and an ordinary man
could walk erect through this opening
This huge and antique monster was
eighteen feet and six inches high, and
was estimated to weigh twenty tons"

A Reward of Merit.
Detroit Free Press

A yOuag commercial traveller was rid
ing on the cars in the vicinity of Grand
Rapids. There were few people riding
in the same coach with him, but he noticed
a very old lady who seemed to have
passed the allotted span of life, and a
younger woman, tired and travel-stained,
and accompanied by two peevish, restless
little ones, who we're never still for a
moment.
The old lady was unattended and sat
by herself, seeming oblivious of all her
surroundings. The mother, with her
children, occupied double seats. She
looked worn out from fatigue. The young
man sat comfortably in the rear of the
coach and read or amused himself with
his thoughts.
But when an opportunity came for him
to be of service he improved it.
He closed the window for the old lady,
who feebly thanked him. He gave the
tiresome children some picture-cards to
keep them out of mischief. He told them
stories, and gave them innumerable drinks
of water from the tank near by, while
their tired mother caught nap. He di-
vlded an orange among them and pre-
pared another for the old lady, who de-
clared it tasted cool and grateful.
Before they reached the station where
the young man was to leave the train,
and while he was getting his sachel down,
the old lady beckoned him to her.
"My son." she said, in quivering voice
II live at Grand Rapids; perhaps you
have heard of me? I am the old lady
who sent 300 pin-cushions out to the
soldiers home there. / am now 80 years
old, and all l do is to make pin cushions
and give them away to deserving people.
Young man, have watched you, and here
is your pin cushion"
1t was homely little round of paste
board, but that young man declares he
will never part with it as long as he lives
